A congressional internship is an excellent opportunity for you to gain valuable knowledge and exposure to the many facets of government, constituent relations and the procedure, politics and policy of the nation's capital. In the past, students have worked for Senators Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY), John Kerry (D-MA), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), John Cornyn (R-TX) and Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Representatives Rangel (D-NY), Nadler (D-NY) and Davis (R-VA).

Those students who spent their summer in Washington, D.C. also had the opportunity to attend events hosted by Columbia University, such as meetings and photo-ops with prominent CU alumni and elected officials.
For additional information, please contact Kevin Brannon, Administrative Coordinator at 212-854-3117; or Karen Jewett, Vice President at 212-854-4434

Stipend Opportunity
The University has established an assistance program for CC, SEAS and GS students with financial need who would like to intern with Congress. A small number of stipends are available.
This is a terrific opportunity for students who might otherwise not be able to consider interning in Washington, DC.
